Fifteen years ago, I discovered I get seasick. We went on a small boat cruise out of Juneau, Alaska for our honeymoon and it quickly became apparent that I could not drink alcohol AT ALL when on the boat. As long as I didn’t drink, I was just a bit queasy. Over the years, I’ve had a number of opportunities to confirm this, including a boat trip between islands in the Azores with rough seas while suffering from morning sickness with Jones. Last year, I tried a non-drowsy formula of dramamine and managed to survive a boat ride out to the Dry Tortugas. The waves were huge and I think Beer Geek, myself, and the crew were the only ones who didn’t get sick.
So, when Beer Geek suggested that we take a float plane ride over the glaciers, the first thing I did was grab some drugs. ;o)
Are you tired of Alaska pictures yet? I’m happy to keep sharing if you want…
On the running front, the Virginia heat is killing me. I ran a miserable 3.5 miles yesterday where I forgot how much heat sucks and went out way too fast. Today I ran 5.5 miles on the treadmill and I was absolutely soaked. I think my running bra and shorts were as wet as my swimsuit was when I got out of the pool earlier today. On Saturday, the projected high is 100 degrees and I’m running a 5k. I’m pretty sure a PR is not in my future. ;o)
Can I just express the extent of my jealousy right now? Beautiful views. And you'll get used to the heat again.
Your caption on that first pic cracks me up!! Love all the pics, keep 'em coming. Good luck on your race, with or without a PR. 🙂
Sweet! Or should I say "sweat?"
I am so jealous! Keep the Alaskan pics coming so I can live vicariously through you! I love pictures of snow on mountains in the summer when the surrounding area is green. I think it is the most beautiful sight in the world.
Stunning photos!! So jealous!!
What an incredible view from the plane! Glad you were able to beat the motion sickness.Maybe we should move to Alaska?!
Dramamine – pills from the gods ;)I LOVE all the pictures – what a great vacation – keep them coming!Good luck on the 5K tomorrow – I bet you will surprise yourself 😉

You can never post too many travel photos – keep em coming! My blog is still being littered by pictures from my South Africa trip.
Beautiful! If you know what works for you (drugs) stick with it! Good luck at the 5k, even if it's not a fast one 🙂
AK is so beautiful. Every picture is different. I think I took like 500 when we were there visiting the FIL. My hubby grew up in Anchorage.
